The Thermal fluid energy system design and analysis has seen a significant transformation since the advent and widespread availability of the digital computer. Before computational power was at the fingertips of engineers, the design of such systems required extensive hand calculations, plotting performance and system curves, looking for intersection points to arrive at a design
that might work as expected. Digital computing capability has changed this.

Now engineers can model a thermal system, including detailed component performance and system characteristics, to solve for operating points without the laborious hand calculations required in the past. Simulation techniques applied to a system model allow the engineer to confidently predict the performance of the system before components are purchased and the system is built.

Optimization techniques allow the engineer to consider changing certain system components or parameters to achieve a system that operates with respect to lowest cost, highest thermal efficiency, highest exergetic efficiency, and so on.
